Hot – this is the exact word to describe Istanbul in all its variations. The tourists can’t help admiring exquisite Ottoman mosques, important historic buildings and exciting new art galleries and museums. With Istanbul private guides from PrivateGuide you will be able to get acquainted with this city, feel its sense of energy and finally like the city very much. Spending two-three days in the city, you will support the idea that Istanbul is a place of many names, times, and colors.

Istanbul is more than a city, it is the whole world, the spot connecting two continents, as it starts in Europe and finishes in Asia. Frank Sinatra says "I would like to wake up a city which does not sleep" There are two cities in the world that fit this saying: New York and Istanbul. The latter is full of an ever-growing array of restaurants, bars, galleries and clubs. The visitors need the whole week to visit city’s museums, parks, covered bazaar, old mosques and palaces. The must-sees of Istanbul include the Hagia Sophia, a massive church turned into museum and filled with 9th-century mosaics, magnificent 17th-century Blue Mosque, and the ornate 15th-century Topkapi Palace, a home to sultans. The private tour guide never let you be bored in Istanbul. Apart from numerous historic sights they show the visitors the city’s modern heart, just north to hilly Beyoglu to modern Taksim Square. The comers will be fascinated with a fine day trip to Uskudar, where Asia begins.

You will never forget when the Istanbul guides show you the scenery of the peninsula raising over the horizon. Another thing you should try in the city – word-famous Hammams (Turkish baths). But if you prefer to spend time going shopping, head for the Bazaar District, where you will be lost in the maze of spice and rug sellers, soaking the traditions dating to Byzantine times. Istanbul makes the tourists coming back again and again.
